This humorous little vignette for string quartet was composed in 1979 and was originally intended to be published by Piedmont Music, the ASCAP division of EB Marks Classical. For reasons unknown, however, it remained in manuscript form until 2021, when a copy of the composer's autograph parts was discovered in the archives of a completely different Alan Shulman piece. This newly engraved Latham Music edition therefore represents the first publication of Shulman's delightful work, as well as the first full score. As the title suggests, this is a medium-slow rag, or cakewalk in a loose AABA form. The bluesy and graceful main melody is introduced by the first violin in a call and response exchange with the rest of the ensemble. The restatement of the primary theme is led by the second violin, with the entire ensemble playing pizzicato, having the effect of playful mockery. In the B section, the first violin earnestly reasserts the stately grace from the opening however, the cello is clearly becoming restless and decides to take over the lead just before the final reprise. The lighthearted ending again has the first violin doing its best to bring the tune to a refined conclusion, but the rest of the group still has mischief in mind. After a couple moments of seeming confusion, the ensemble regroups at last and plays the final riff with resolute emphasis. If you're looking to add a light moment to a recital program, or looking for a short, medium level contest piece that players and audiences alike will enjoy, this little miniature is an ideal choice!

Quatuor No 2 was first performed by the Tana string quartet on April 14, 2013, at Radio France, Paris. I conceived a piece whose principal subject was going to consist in the description of a minuscule sonic element. The description of this tiny initial material would be so precise, so detailed that, deployed on a much larger scale than its original one, it would occupy the entire duration of the piece. At that point, I just had to choose a sound model as the starting point of the piece, the sound that would best characterize the string instruments themselves: the noisy sound produced by the bow barely coming in contact with one of the strings, getting ready to acquire speed, weight, acceleration, and producing a full sound of a violin, a viola or a cello... -Daniel D'Adamo.

1982 saw the publication of a melody for written for bagpipes by the name of Highland Cathedral—a name that draws its inspiration from a famous neo-Gothic church in Glasgow, Scotland. Since its first appearance, Highland Cathedral has enjoyed a triumphant tour around the globe, often acknowledged as an enthusiastic tribute to the nation of Scotland. Anthony Gröger’s version for string quartet combines this passionate character with unmistakeable echoes of the Scottish feel of the original work. Here then is this true classic, especially popular at wedding ceremonies, now arranged for string quartet.

In het jaar 1982 werd een voor doedelzak geschreven melodie gepubliceerd, waarvan de titel Highland Cathedral was ge nspireerd op een beroemde neogotische kerk in het Schotse Glasgow. Sindsdien heeft het stuk gaandeweg de wereld veroverd en wordt het vaak ten gehore gebracht als enthousiast eerbetoon aan Schotland. Anthony Grögers versie voor vier strijkers combineert dat gepassioneerde karakter met onmiskenbare echo’s van de Schotse sfeer van het origineel. Een geliefde klassieker, veelvuldig gespeeld op bruiloften, is nu dus ook verkrijgbaar in een arrangement voor strijkkwartet.

Im Jahre 1982 wurde eine für Dudelsack geschriebene Melodie erstmals veröffentlicht, deren Name Highland Cathedral auf einen berühmten neogotischen Kirchenbau im schottischen Glasgow anspielt. Seitdem hat sie ihren Siegeszug um die Welt angetreten und wird oft als enthusiastisches Bekenntnis zur schottischen Nation aufgefasst. Anthony Grögers Version für Streichquartett verbindet diesen leidenschaftlichen Charakter mit unverkennbaren Anklängen an das schottische Klangidiom des Originals. Ein beliebter Klassiker, vor allem auf Hochzeitsfeiern, steht somit nun auch Streichquartett-Formation en zur Verfügung.

Publ iée pour la première fois en 1982, la mélodie pour cornemuse « Highland Cathedral » fait référence une célèbre église de style néogothique de Glasgow, en Écosse. Souvent perçue comme un hommage enthousiaste la nation écossaise, cette mélodie entama dès lors une marche triomphale travers le monde. La version pour quatuor cordes d’Anthony Gröger allie ce même caractère passionné aux sonorités écossaises, indissociables du langage sonore caractéristique de l’original. Un classique très populaire, notamment lors des mariages, désormais disponible pour quatuor cordes.
